Dance Tae Yer Daddy
|
Album: Auld Scotch Sangs
Album: Celtic Lullabies
|
Traditional
|
Dance tae yer daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer daddy, ma wee bit lamb
Ye shall get a shippy and a little fishy
Ye shall get a shippy frae the millers dam.
Chorus:
Dance tae yer daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer daddy, tae yer mammy sing
Ye shall get a fishy on a little dishy
Ye shall get a fishy when the boat comes in.
Dance tae yer daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer daddy, ma wee bit lamb
Hear yer mither hummin', she'a a canny woman
Yonder comes yer faither, drunk, he canna stand.
Dance tae yer daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer daddy, ma wee bit lamb
I like a drap masel when I get it sly
An noo ma bonnie bairn will like it well as I.
Dance tae yer daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer daddy, ma wee bit lamb
When you are a manny ye shall work wi' daddy
Hand the ploo' as steady as ony ither man.
